Send a CREATE DATABASE command. Note that --setup, below, will automatically send a CREATE DATABASE if it needs one. This option is useful if you wish to create the database without creating any tables in it.

Actually set up your app's tables. This creates the database if need be, and runs any commands needed to bring the tables up to date; these may include CREATE TABLE or ALTER TABLE commands. This option is assumed if the database does not exist, or the database version is not the same as the application's version.

Looks for all model classes of your Jifty application and generates SQL statements to create or update database tables for all of the models. It either prints the SQL to standard output (--print) or actually issues the CREATE TABLE or ALTER TABLE statements on Jifty's database.

(Note that even if you are just displaying the SQL, you need to have correctly configured your Jifty database in ProjectRoot/etc/config.yml, because the SQL generated may depend on the database type.)

By default checks for SQL reserved words in your table names and column definitions, throwing an error if any are found.

If you want to permanently turn this behaviour off you can set CheckSchema to 0 in the database section of your applications config file.
